Please cite specific studies that support the claimed objectivity of your arbitrary number.

The fact is science can’t even define life, much less pinpoint when it begins. If human life has value that transcends the conveniences of those in power over it, then it seems to me to be worth taking extra care.

This is a significant measure of a society and it’s members; to what extent it supports and encourages sacrifice now in the best interest of posterity.

We have fallen far, far short and the further we stray from that guiding principle the worse things get. You can see it right before your eyes in all of our affairs.
